2,500 Turn Out to Race for the Cure

In Raleigh, nearly 2,500 people showed up for the run. Nationwide, the Racefor the Cure was held today in 77 cities with more than 400,000participants.

This year the triangle area was honored for hosting the first ever Racefor the Cure in North Carolina. Many say, it was a chance for our stateto show much needed support.

We hope that this type of race will be short-lived. We hope we will finda cure for breast cancer

Today's triangle race raised nearly $200,000 dollars. Seventy-five percentof those proceeds will help fund health-care and education programs forwomen in the area.
